An Iowa City man was arrested Wednesday on charges that he sexually abused a child under the age of twelve.


Trey William Beard, 21, abused the child between 20 and 30 times at a house in Iowa City between March 2021 and August 2022, according to criminal complaints. He also reportedly abused the child at least once in 2018 at a residence in North Liberty.


Beard reportedly threatened to slit the child’s throat and hurt the child in other ways if the child told anyone about the abuse, the complaints state.
